Fostex LM16 Using the internal effects processor, Using Insert, Applying the internal effects

Model LM16 [Mixer basics]

• Using Insert

The [INSERT] jack, as well as the AUX post send, is used for connecting to an external processor. Unlike the AUX send, you can ap- ply effects to a single channel signal.

The LM16 provides the [INSERT] jacks for mixer channels 1 through 8. Each jack is used mainly for connecting a compressor, limiter, equalizer, etc.

[INSERT] jack

By connecting an external effect processor to the [INSERT] jack, you can send the channel signal to the processor and receive the pro- cessed signal.

The [INSERT] jack on the LM16 is the TRS- type unbalanced phone jack. You can make bidirectional connection with the effect pro- cessor using a "Y" cable as shown below.

Using the internal effects processor

The LM16 features the internal effects (re- verb/delay) processor, which allows apply- ing effects to the mixer channel signals.

The effect send signal of each channel is ad- justed by the [EFF] control after the channel fader. The effected (wet) signal is adjusted using the controls in the [EFFECT TO STE- REO], [EFFECT TO GROUP] and [EFFECT TO AUX] sections and sent to the stereo, group and AUX busses.

		EFF RTN L-R
		GROUP 1-2 BUSS
	Internal	EFF RTN 1-2
INPUT	Effector
FADER	EFFECT
		GROUP 3-4 BUSS
		EFF RTN 3-4
		AUX 1, 2, 3 BUSS
		EFF RTN AUX 1, 2, 3

• Applying the internal effects

The following shows how to send the effected (wet) signal from the internal effects proces- sor to the stereo L/R buss.

(1)Set the [EFFECT] ON/OFF switch to "ON" ().

(2)Select the desired effect type using the [SELECT] / switch.

The indicator for the selected type is illuminated. (See the next page for details about each effect type.)

(3)Adjust the effect send level of the channel signal using the [EFF] control on each mixer channel.

Note that the effect send level is affected by the channel fader.
